Description
I played a podcast today and it chewed my battery. I've seen this previously as well, and noticed the phone get hot when playing.
3m on screen and 35m background and this app used 17% battery (according to the battery stats). That seems like a lot for a podcast?
iPhone SE 2022
iOS 16.2

Done means identifying and fixing the cause of excessive battery consumption, with the behavior verified during playback.
